Garden of the Week: a focus on roses

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Dottie White has been a member of the Syracuse Rose Society since 1993 and the garden at her home at 116 Bradford Parkway features many roses along with a variety of other flowers.

In the 31 years she's lived at this address Dottie has created extensive flower beds around the yard. She says many people just passing will stop to ask about particular plants or just to admire her work. Dottie has noted the calming effect the garden has when she arrives home after a day at work and pulls into her drive lined with colorful flowers.
